Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to absorb zinc, an essential mineral. This condition typically presents in infants and young children, leading to symptoms such as skin rashes, diarrhea, and hair loss. The skin lesions often appear around the mouth, diaper area, and other parts of the body. The disorder is caused by mutations in the SLC39A4 gene, which is responsible for transporting zinc into cells. Treatment usually involves zinc supplementation, which can help alleviate symptoms and improve the patient's overall health. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for better outcomes.
